It seems that the USA has been considering making a bomb that will cause "the other fellow across the trenches" to fart uncontrollably, fancy the pants of the guy next to him and get attacked by every wasp, at and stinging insect.

The plan for a so-called "love bomb" envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing what the military called a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale.

Indeed the fart bomb dumbed the "Who? Me?" device has been under consideration since 1945, according to recently uncovered government papers. However the problem is that the people the US fight most often have to smell things much worse all day long and would be unaffected. If the "terrorist threat" could launch the "Who Me" in down town LA then there really would be a problem - the genie would be out of the can! (British humour, sorry)

In an armed raid following just a single unvarified tip off one man was shot although not critically. Days later they were released without charge. Part of the group that make up over 97% of anti-terror arrests.

The brothers, who had been held under the Terrorism Act 2000, were released on Friday after police found no trace of an alleged chemical device at their home.

Mr Kahar was shot and injured during the raid, which police said followed "specific intelligence" of a terrorist threat.

Mr Duvall has, apparently, has demanded a police report concerning the raid. He is reported to have said "questions needed to be asked about the quality of the intelligence behind it and why 250 police were involved."

We need to start demanding change before it's you or me or our families being targetted by these pointless raids. We could start with the removal of Met Police chief Sir Ian Blair. (Yes, that is the same surname as the PM).

Or wose: Murdered by incompitent police.

"But the biggest controversy of his career so far has been the shooting of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes by armed officers who mistook him for a suicide bomber on a Tube train on 22 July 2005."
